Mobile applications are growing rapidly and can be employed for various purposes. Presently, they have been applied widely in education. The pace of technological advancement is incredibly fast, impacting all segments of society. One noteworthy area is the facilitation of learning to read and write the Quran, where recent technological developments have significantly simplified the process. However, these applications have certain limitations as they solely concentrate on utilizing technology without incorporating more inventive approaches to aid Quran readers in interacting with, memorizing, comprehending, and establishing connections with the topics covered in the Quran. This paper aims to systematically review and analyze current research on the Quran mobile application. The study reviewed relevant literature indexed in Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) databases. Consequently, three key study themes have been identified after thoroughly analyzing the “Quran mobile application”: learning and memorization, text analysis and information retrieval, and user experience and engagement. As Quran mobile applications have increased accessibility to learning the Qur’an, they frequently concentrate only on the use of technology meanwhile innovative approaches to improve engagement, memorization, comprehension, and topic connections for Quran readers remain lacking. The outcomes of this study can serve as inspiration for other researchers, providing a solid groundwork for the development and improvements in understanding the Quran.

Learning to memorize the Quran presents a challenge. This paper reports the development and alpha testing of a mobile application called “EzHifz” for Quran memorization based on the VARK learning style. The application received positive feedback for user acceptance testing and heuristic testing. The Fleiss kappa coefficient (κ) results for user acceptance testing show a very good level of agreement (κ = 0.850). Heuristic testing results show that κ = 0.731 for content, manual guide, memorization activities, performance information, and tasmik assessment attributes, while κ = 0.727 for presentation design, interactivity, multimedia elements, attraction, and motivation attributes. These results show a good level of agreement, which indicates that the EzHifz application meets the requirements of design and development based on the attributes evaluated. A combination of memorizing techniques in the application helps strengthen the use of preferred VARK learning styles. The techniques support the use of multiple senses that could facilitate the process of memorizing the Quran independently. This study contributes to the novel design and evaluation of the Quran memorization application based on the Quran memorization model. The application supports the teaching and learning of Quran memorization where it allows students to select their preferred VARK learning style with the technique of memorizing the Quran. This mobile application learning approach based on VARK’s learning style has the potential to be implemented in the process of memorizing the Quran as well as retaining memory through the use of memory senses in support of the learning materials developed.

This paper reports a summative evaluation conducted for the educational mobile application called “Qiraat Sab’ah.” The prototype was developed using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) and User Experience (UX) methodologies. The prototype was improved further based on the formative evaluation feedback gathered from students, lecturers, and the public who wish to learn Qiraat through the mobile application. The summative evaluation was focused on the value and usability of the application if it is being used in a real environment. A total of 50 participants were involved in this evaluation. The result shows that most of the participants provide positive feedback on usability. One of the major highlights from the participants is that the application can be used as a supplementary teaching and learning tool for people who wish to learn Qiraat anytime and anywhere. However, further areas of expansion are needed such as including all chapters (surahs) in the Quran and tajweed indicators to the verses before it can be used for real.
